Hands Up! Fun Fingerless Mitts to Knit

Are you interested in making fingerless mittens?  Have you been intimidated to try on your own?  This class will explore the construction of fingerless mittens, both knit in the round and back and forth, so you can have the confidence to make your own at any time.  They are perfect for quick gifts and using leftovers of your yarn, as well as for those "orphan" skeins you have rescued from the yarn shop.

We will be starting one of two pairs of fingerless mittens of your choice, either Kabsa or Marine Layer Mitts.  Using worsted weight yarn will make your projects fly!  By the end of this two hour class, you should have a good start on your mittens and be able to complete them on your own within a few days of the class.  As a bonus, I am offering a coupon code, HandsUp, valid through the end of the day March 21, 2022, on all of my patterns for hands (gloves, gauntlets, mittens, mitts, and muffs), on either my Ravelry Store ( http://www.ravelry.com/designers/ranee-mueller ) or my PayHip Store ( https://payhip.com/ArabianKnitsDesigns ).
